Backstory: Alistair Graves was born into a world steeped in shadows and silence. His mother, Margaret Graves, ran a small, but respected funeral parlor on the outskirts of London. His father, Edward Graves, was a former soldier turned grave digger, who instilled in Alistair a deep respect for the dead and the solemn duty of those left behind. The Graves household was one where death was not feared, but understood and accepted—a natural end that brought peace.

However, death came for his parents too soon. When Alistair was just fifteen, his father succumbed to a fatal illness, one that crept upon him with the same inevitability as the graves he dug. Not long after, his mother was murdered in their own home by a gang seeking to use the funeral parlor as a front for their criminal activities. Alistair was left alone, with only the cold comfort of the dead and a burning need for justice.

With no family and no ties to hold him in London, Alistair sold the funeral parlor and set out to hunt down the men responsible for his mother’s death. He armed himself with a weapon his father had brought back from the war—a large, ominous scythe. It was a tool of the reaper, symbolic and deadly, and in Alistair’s hands, it became an instrument of vengeance. Over the next few years, he tracked each member of the gang, bringing them to a swift, merciless end.

His success in avenging his mother’s death caught the attention of others who sought justice, or perhaps simply retribution. Alistair found himself drawn into the dark world of bounty hunting, where his skills and cold efficiency quickly earned him a reputation. Whispers of "The Grim Reaper" spread across England, a moniker that suited both his weapon of choice and his unrelenting nature.

Now in his early thirties, Alistair travels frequently, often by steamship, following leads and tracking down the most elusive and dangerous criminals. He prefers to keep to the shadows, moving silently through the fog of unfamiliar cities, his presence felt but rarely seen. Despite his fearsome reputation, Alistair lives by a strict code: he only takes on bounties he deems just, and he never kills without reason. Yet, his past haunts him, and he is often plagued by nightmares of those he’s slain, as well as memories of his parents, whose deaths continue to drive him.

Alistair is a man of few words, often keeping his thoughts and emotions buried deep beneath a cold, stoic exterior. The steamships he travels on are both a means of escape and reflection, as he gazes out over the dark waters, contemplating the thin line between life and death that he treads so carefully.

Memory: Alistair Graves often recalls a quiet, poignant moment from his youth. After his father’s death, he was alone in the parlor, preparing his father’s body for burial. The room was dimly lit by a single oil lamp, casting long shadows on the walls. As he worked, he found a small, leather-bound journal tucked away in a drawer. It was his father’s journal, filled with meticulous notes and sketches of the graves he had dug, along with reflections on the nature of life and death.

One entry stood out, written in a delicate, almost reverent script: “In every grave lies a story, and in every story, a lesson for those who care to listen.” Alistair, then a young boy on the brink of manhood, felt a profound connection to his father’s words. This memory solidified his own sense of duty and respect for the work he would later undertake. It remains a cherished reminder of his father’s wisdom and the unspoken bond they shared.
